- Frustrating experience with repairing a Chevy transmission. Installing a new transmission control module on a Chevy Traverse to clear codes. The transmission is still acting up and needs a complete overhaul. These are the DTC codes that the TCM fixed

I was a Loyal GM fan only at one time, it was after a Honda product through a family member that I learned that a manufacturer can build a vehicle with only maintenance to keep it running. All the GM products I’ve owned were constantly requiring repairs many expensive ones. I will never buy a GM again and it’s been fantastic owning Honda and Toyota products. The G stands for Garbage.
Government Motors, because the contracts GM has are the only thing keeping them afloat
@@MikeClowder Government Motors, lol. Well said, I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m absolutely terrified to ever purchase another GM product and angry at myself for liking the Corvettes but luckily my Wife would kill me if I tried to buy one, I’m not wealthy anyway so it’s likely to never be a concern. Lol✌🏼🇺🇸
Don't buy the newer Toyota trucks you'll be really disappointed. The 3rd gen Tacoma was garbage (howling rear diff, terrible automatic, fuel pump squeel of death at low mileage, engine failures, etc) and the number of total engine failures in the 2022 Tundra is shocking and quality control has been terrible.
I am a satisfied 2015 Chev. Traverse owner, no problems and a 2008 Chev. Uplander owner 15 years old, no problems. Still have it. Secret is how you drive. I have owned 10 cars in my 87 years of life and never had problems with them, just normal service and wear. It is how you treat and drive your car. I keep my cars up to 15 to 20 years.. it is. How. You drive and take care of your cars. I have owned, Ford’s , Chev.,Pontiacs, olds., Buicks , Rambler’s, Dodges, Mercury’s, VW bug, VW bus.
based on the dirty engine compartment, I'm guessing he doesn't spend much time under the hood.
I've already replaced tranny fluid twice (amsoil) in my 120k 2015 and no problems. Maybe AWD are added problems
If you’ve had that many vehicles no wonder you never had a problem ..lol
at 5k miles a year lol
My aux is so quiet.
I have a friend who bought 2 of these brand new from a chevy dealer in Texas on the same day, one for him, one for his wife. Both vehicles identical! In the 2 years he owned them they soent more time in the dealership then in his driveway! Electrical, engine and transmission issues! He WAS a chevy fan, but not after owning these 2 and the runaround he recived from the dealership and Chevy corporate rep!
I'll feel your pain! I have a 2015 Buick Enclave AWD. 120K miles - replaced the transmission about 20K miles ago. My mechanic absolutely hates these vehicles. The Enclave is back in the shop as I write this trying to diagnose a vibration I'm getting at around 60MPH. We shall see...already replaced the front rotors and pads due to warped rotors that was causing severe vibration under hard breaking.
Good luck!
I bought a 2009 Traverse 8 months ago, paid $5000. The windows wont work had to buy a new oil module cost $400. New battery 2 months ago , also 2 months after I bought it I had to fix something dont remember what it was but that cost me $400. Now it needs an alternator and timing belt. All this for under a year and yes the engine lite has been on since I bought it and the tire lite. Before I put over $1000 more into it I am thinking I should sell it for parts and get an older car that is easier to work on. Right now I am driving my 1969 VW bug. Always starts and goes. I dont want to keep putting money into the Traverse. What would you do?
I got a used 2015 with 25k on the odometer. Bought extended warranty. Needed transmission solinoid, blind side detection module,02 sensor, coolant temp sensor by 90k. All covered under warranty. 😂😂
Mind telling me what warranty company you used?
That Sienna in the background probably has 200k on its original drivetrain 😂
My Sienna has 260,000. No transmissions issues... yet.
My 08 saturn vue has 300k with same engine as traverse original engine and trans
I have a 2012 traverse with 208k miles. Replaced starter twice and the front engine mount also twice.
The steering rack also needs replaced along with the pump. They had a TSB on this problem. It may still be covered by warrenty if this car has the TSB.
Thanks for the tip. We’ll check it out.
Hello I'm having issues with my traverse shifting into 2and 3rd no check engine light just service tire monitor system it has 170 thousand miles on it beside that It has no issues I do change fluids regularly because we are always traveling for my kids can you give me some pointers on what would be the most cost-effective way to fix it 2013 year
I bought this exact model in July. I bought a warranty after the horror stories. No wonder these are cheap. So far nothing wrong that wasn't when I got it. Small stuff. Randomly seeing this video of the 2015 Traverse pop up when I'm looking at camping scares the mess out of me.
Yours probably already had this stuff replaced.
I have chevy traverse and i am feed up with its shattering at low gear low rpm, the moment i raised the rpm, the vibration goes away, i overhaul the transmission and changed the torque convertor but no luck, though i have replaced the the same valve controller back at 99K and now i am at 350k. In between i also replaced my engine due to knocking sound. Thanks i am not in USA otherwise the repaire would had exceed new car price.
Transmissions wear out over time. They need to be serviced or rebuilt. Depends on how many miles you are getting out of your transmissions. Less than 100k miles something is probably wrong.
I've owned GM vehicles for the last 15 years. Never once had a single transmission issue. I ran a 1998 Silverado 1500 up to 250k miles with original transmission. The truck only needed replaced after an accident. I am currently on a 2006 Silverado 1500 with 160k miles and no transmissions issues yet.
I always change my transmission fluid every 30k miles. That's every 6 oil changes I do the transmission along with it.
Driving style, towing, road conditions, traffic, all play a role I understand that. Typically FWD designed transmissions aren't as good.
I have a 2000 GTP that I have dyno'd at 350 whp and I have added after market performance parts to the transmission to increase durability and reliability.
If you want a transmission to last, change the fluid often. Especially if you tow, or use it as a race car.
You're also driving older Silvies, not Traverses.
I own a 2016 traverse AWD. At one point a fuse blew that led to brake lights not working, and some other weird random electrical problems with the head unit occur every now and then. At 78k miles the torque converter went and cost us a small fortune to repair. The automatic lights kills the headlights and we have to replace those bulbs every 9-12 months. Other than that the car is reliable and drives ok.
Thank you. My 2011 Chevrolet Traverse LT engine light and tire light stays on. Sometimes the engine light goes away but it will return. The Tire light stays on continuously 🤦but I bought some tiny bumper guards for the door bcuz they slam so loud but cand see where it should go.
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you..
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Mad talent, Great skills to have.
Right on! Thanks!
You can actually replace the wave plates and they make an upgrade kit for it / 6t70, 6t75 wave plate repair kit
Yep, my thoughts exactly! 🦾
Gotta replace 'em with the Sonnax drum-saver kits...what really grinds my gears though is that Sonnax figured it out but GM couldn't when they came out w/ the so-called "upgraded" waveplate design in late 2009 that were supposedly shot peened or whatever & those ones still fail too! Albeit maybe takes a little longer than the original ones but still!! 🤬
I have a 2010 I have a 2010 Chevy Traverse and I'm not getting any fuel to start it and my battery is drained I think someone my friend messed with my fuses under the hood I'm not sure I'm at a loss about what to do
If they’re sabotaging your car, they might not truly be a friend.
You might want to put a cheap ($20-$35) transmission cooler on it and then find a way to monitor the trans temperature possibly through the OBD2 port. Those dongles work well along with an app. Keeping the temperature under 200 degrees just might extend its life...?
These already have a "cheap" transmission cooler on them from the factory that runs thru the radiator...the problem really IS the faulty 3-5-r waveplates unfortunately 🤬
No wonder those were so cheap on car guru dam shame for such a nice looking suv🤔
in Canada I own a 2018 traverse LT FWD. i replaced transmission fluid 1st at 81K KM and 2nd at 150K KM, according to the user manual. at 153K Km, just 3000 after the second change, my reverse not working, not even at high rpms. it starts to give white smoke which has not scent like burning or whatever. in drive the vehicle doesn't engage gears between 2 and 3 when cold but after vehicle warms up for some time then the gears engage. i bought extended warranty so it's right now with the dealer and whole transmission will be replaced. i read online people say don't change or replace transmission fluid cos it will damage the transmission......but user manual says to replace it every 80K KM......whom to follow? i never had any problems with traverse since i bought it in 2018....thats the only issue i got this time.
lol that’s a lie.
Considering a 2024 Traverse- they got rid of the v6 but I'm still nervous l!
The 2018's and up have a great v6 in them believe it or not! They got rid of the LLT 3.6l FINALLY and went w/ an upgraded version of the LFX (i think it's called LFY but don't quote me) the problem is now they've mated it to an all-new 9 speed transmission that's been known already to fail in as little as 20-30 thousand miles!! WTH GM!?! 🤬
Me personally, I really like the way the Traverse LOOKS; but I'm gonna avoid 'em like the plague...ALL model years!
Transmission still trash. I have 2019 with 40000 miles and tranny is no bueno for shet.
I would recommend against it. Not only is it in inline 4 in a vehicle way too large for one, it's also turbocharged. GM *does not* know how to turbocharge properly, at least nowadays. Granted, I'm not a fan of turbocharged engines in general, but if I were to get one, it would not be GM
@@jbone1383I like the look of the first generation (prefer post mid cycle face lift, due to having actual amber rear turn signals. It's also safer that way), but my goodness, is it laden with problems. Pretty sure the LLT is designed for indirect injection (and I believe the first year in production, it *was),* but uses direct injection--way too high pressure. Not a fan of DI in general, but this one takes the cake for the worst DI-ed engine.
Mines about to give out. I got a 08 saturn vue. 189k. I don't care I am going to keep treating it like a Toyota.
As long as it’s still running, keep it going. 189k is a decent amount of miles.
@@OffGridAdventure bet it up
189k would be amazing for an original 6T70 or 6T75! It definitely doesn't owe u anything @ that point...my 2005 4-speed auto didn't kick the bucket until 199k which is slightly above average but I was the original owner & those run alot cooler than the newer 6-speeds 🤷♂️
Reverse on a traverse is 2nd gear, why it's hard to back up a hill when towing.
That makes sense. I plan to open up the clutches the next time I’m in that area.
why change transmission at a dealer if they can change the selenoid is a simple solution?
Nice video, we will contact you sir.Have a good day!
Would it qualify for lemon law since you've had to replace the power steering pump 3 times?
Too old
@That V8 Life That's terrible! Hopefully they get it fixed and on the road for you soon!
Hi, it’s too old for a lemon law buyback. At this point I advised the owner to drive it as is until they can replace/rebuild the transmission. Luckily, it’s not my personal vehicle.
I don't think you understand what a lemon law even is...
Issue of reverse is wave plate
Reverse and low are fully mechanical it's a low pressure issue
There junk am having so many problems with mine
Yes I feel the same way. I am having buyers remorse and I haven’t had it for a month yet,
This one still bangs into gear.
Well well I have resolved my issues. I replaced a relay and the cooling temperature sensor and I have been doing great but I will still keep my fingers and toes crossed.
@@bthynameI think we need a relay too. The crank. Omg it’s so horrible.
@@My_secret_is_i_pray I have not had any problems since I replaced that part. It's been going strong for 6 months. Fingers crossed that it stays that way.
Anyone care to guess why I haven't owned a GM vehicle in 25 years?
They were good back then. Sure wish I'd kept my 1996 Suburban.
I don’t think I would ever open my transmission like that.
It’s not too bad, but it was kind of a pain that this didn’t resolve the issues.
IMHO The infamous Chevy "check engine light" / "reduced engine power light" is a trap, incorporated within GM manufacturing production model.
I have one, new water pump Friday info screen quit Saturday. Big f-n piece of junk. Huge regret.
I’ve heard these cars are shit! That’s why back years ago when I needed a new car I got a Toyota Sienna which is bullet proof!! I having owned American cars in past and had nothing but issues with them!
My Sienna has 160k miles on it and still drives like it’s new… I have only needed normal maintenance things like tires, brakes and muffler. I am very pleased!
Same Toyota all the way. My man just bought this junk traverse. It’s been issues every other week. 😅
I can make a simple fix as well do not buy any GM vehicles
That 3.6 Engine is one of the worst in the car business.. Constant issues electronically and the with Stabiltrak etc.. Get a Highlander..
Dude it’s an ECM problem, all the idiot lights are going off. Replace your battery first, low voltage will make car do crazy things.
The replacement TCM eliminated all of the lights, but not the mechanical issue.
Çan't stop fixing my 13 traverse. Poop
Those are garbage, had 2013 traverse. Numerous speed sensor problems, torque converter replaced, found oil in the intake,
Can if there's anybody in North Hollywood that knows about a Chevy Traverse they might be willing to come and to my Aid or refer me to a repair shop where I can take it I mean I think it's just a simple thing maybe with fuse or something I don't know anyways I'll look for your comments
As an owner of gm built 3.6l lambda based suv - these are pure garbage. Even if you babied these suv - its still going to break- why? A combination of bad design and poor quality of parts . Tcm pressure switch is located inside the transmission, japanese cars however , they are external and easy to replace when it brakes - wave plates cost like less than $5 but since gm “forgot” to do heat treatment these plates - it will brake . The timing chain they use is as thick as bmx bicycle chains . I remember servicing a hardbody nissan teuck , timing chain is almost 3x thick as traverse . The wheel bearing they use are never meant to handle 4-5k lbs - so they break frequently as well. Power steering rack whines and leaks as well . Save yourself some headache and buy Toyota or Honda .
That's rich considering all the recap and engine issues I'm reading with Toyota and Honda as well. Not a GM fan by any stretch of the imagination but all these Toyota and Honda comments have got to be bots. Yes this vehicle is trash though.
Dude take your shades off 😉
do a sawp with a 1mz 3.0 toyota
Maybe the company accidentally sent you your original teccum
Bought my 2011 traverse a year later engine took a crap, wareanty only covered fm price of vehicle which was 4k, i had to come out of pocket the additional 5k to replace the engine, a week later engine light came back on again and told me to go to a gm dealer to fix it SMH. Now a year later transmission is out, spent 2500 on new suspension and got all brakes done. At this point im gonna take it straigjt to the bank and they can repo it not dumping anymore money jnto this POS.
Put on car lift alots better on your back almost be out weather
This is why I'd never buy a Chevy again even though I took care of my mine like a top since I used to work a dealership myself
The engines in these are trash too!
Do not buy one.
All GM SUVs are garbage. Do your homework before buying a vehicle!!
Sell it for a Dodge Grand Caravan. Your welcome. You can send me a cheque in the mail. All the best and continue to follow your nose!🍁🦫
The DGC is a great minivan. This one isn’t mine, I was just helping a friend with theirs.
I might consider a dgc .... Tell me more......
@@christianquinones8081 I hope you follow your nose in the right direction.🍁🦫
Those have transmission problems as well.
May or may not be the most reliable, but the Chrysler minivans (especially third and fourth generations) are the most practical and versatile in existence, to my knowledge (the removable seating may require more work, but is still much more versatile than stowable seating, and allows you to carry more weight when not installed, due to them not being in the vehicle), and is far more reliable than this hunk of junk. I miss our Town & Country.
